The film follows thelife of Ankur Chadha (essayed by Arjun Kapoor), a man terrified of his ex-wife Prabhleen Dhillon (essayed by Bhumi Pednekar), who is completely opposite to him. When Ankur finds love again with Antara Khanna (essayed by Rakul Preet Singh), Prabhleen suffers from retrograde amnesia. The film narrates what happens when she believes Ankur has just proposed marriage to her.

According to Hindustan Times review, “Mudassar Aziz’s direction is strictly average. After the refreshing fun of Khel Khel Mein, expectations were high, but here, the emotions don’t land, and the laughs are fewer. The music is nice, with Gori Hain Kalaiyaan standing out. Overall, Mere Husband Ki Biwi had the potential to be hilarious. It tries hard, and credit to the makers for the attempt. But it falls short”.
